thanks mate!
my work was already rewarded years ago by Maddox games when they asked me to do default skins for several planes (Mossies,Yaks) and they put my name into the credits of the game, what more could I want? :) Cheers

The texture building updates were included in dbw 1.71 in large percentage as it seems, I wasnt aware of that. I noticed one bug, on the 5th screen, in dbw 1.71 both medium sized Slovakia fuel tanks have the rusty brown color. The original Slovakia fuel tank had the silver color, I'm gonna release a patch which will fix this so you'll have both colors on the map. Thanks for the feedback guys! Have a nice day.

The problem I was talking about:


The fix: http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_building_textures_DBW_update.zip

(It also fixes thin white lines along some texture edges on some hangars which resulted in a shimmering type effect)

I dont have HSFX so I did not tested but it will probably work with it.
First step is to download these files and extract them to a temporary location:
http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_Channel40_beta_map_update_v1.zip
http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_new_mods_06032010.rar
http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_building_textures_DBW_update.zip
Youre gonna have these new subfolders in your temp directory:
_00_Channel40_beta_map_update_v1
TEXTURES_Buildings_DBW_update
_VP_TEXTURES_Buildings_v2_2010
_VP_MAPMODS_v3_2010
Move these folders to your HSFX mods folder and youre done, no ini file editing required.

Cheers

I have a quick question like TICI, except I need a dummies guide on how to install the map upgrades into DBW 1.71.

Do I just put these four folders directly under the #DBW main folder, eg: #DBW/_00_Channel40_beta_map_update_v1?

Or do I open the folders and extract the contents into the MapMods subfolder in #DBW, such as for example #DBW/MapMods/maps/CAN_Channel, etc?

I hope my confusion makes sense (!). Would appreciate some guidance on this.

Cheers

Go with the first option: "#DBW/_00_Channel40_beta_map_update_v1",
moving files into mapmods is also a possibility but makes stuff harder to remove.

If you decide to install the stock map updates
(http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_new_mods_06032010.rar)
those are in a MODS folder (old structure) so move the contents of this Mods folder into #DBW folder.

In case of you only want the Channel40 update then you need the file:
http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/vp_Channel40_beta_map_update_v1.zip

When you install everything all the stock maps and 75% of stock building will have new textures (list of updates maps at my site).

Edit: btw I know that its a bit complicated to install everything so I'm planning to repackage my different mods into one single install including recent updates in 1-2 weeks

Thanks for the help in this vp. I installed them all into the #DBW folder as per you instructions, and I am now enjoying the new visuals in Storm over England.

BTW - the instructions weren't so much complicated, just a bit different from how I had previously installed new map textures etc in DBW, so I thought I had better check.

Anyway, thanks for the mod and thanks for the help.

Cheers
